Doris & Colyin's Big Circus Captures
the City-A Splendid Parade
and Perform ance.

Thousands know it, and are
pleased to know it.
It came upon us like a dawn of
glory. Everything about it is great.
Even its entry into the city was
attended by scenes which were
more than usually interesting.
Did you see the colossal show
arrive? If you didn't you lost g
sight forever to be regretted
Early yesterday morning the great
train bearing the world Of property
which belongs to this mighty mon
arch ofthe show world was slowly
drawn across the Newport bridge
and the sight which they presen.
ted charmed all the beholders.
THE PERFORMANCE.
Owing to a delay ON the railroad
yesterday the great show was
little late entering the city, and the
rain, which came soon after the
arrival of the circus, tended also
to delay the parade. The door:
were not opened in the afternoon
but most magnificent show
was given at night. The larges
tent, which, by the way, are thu
largest ever seen here, were almos
filled at night, despite the rain
and the audience expressed un
bounded satisfaction over the per
Torrance.
The show is perfect in all things
and the programme is quite a
good as it is long. Were we t.
give a detailed description of tn
scores of acts performed last nigh
and do them the slightest fairness
we would exhaust the superlativ
of the language and crowd this
column to It's limits. The circu
department did splendidly, ant
furnishes a plethora af amuse
ments, rendered by superio
artists. In the Wild West section
many new and startling scenes ant
acts are introduced. A novelt,
last night was in the shape o
bucking Texas steers, and a wilde

THE CORN CROP.
An Estimated Yield of About 1910, 900, 900
Bushels in the United States.

CarcAGo, Sept. 2z.-The Farmers Review will
publish in this weeks issue it's estimate Of the
corn crop of 1887. placing it at about 1900, ,000,
OOC bushels. The estimate is based on the fol-
lowing data: The seven corn surplus States of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska have during the last seven years
produced an average within a small fraction of
one thousand million bushels annually. This
year all these States have suffered severely from
droughts. The department. of agriculture esti-
mated the condition of the crop in these States
Sept. l, based on reports of irs correspond
ents prior tn at date. at Ga per cent.
The Farmers Review estimates the
dition based reports of its correspondents
up TO Sept. II at only o8 per cent, of
average crop. This per cent. would give for these
States only 570 900 bushels in this years crop
The rest Of the country has in these seven years
produced an average Of about $40. 900, 900 bush
els But the crop this year is above the aver
age in the Atlantic and cotton States and it is
estimated that there will be 100, 900, 600 bushels
in excess of the average of past years. This
will give to the country outside of these seven
corn States above named crop of 740, ,0O0, 900
bushels which. added to the so. 900, 900 bushels
from these seven States makes a total crop for
the whole country of ], ,3l0 000 600 bushels
